The Scent Journey

• Top Notes: Bergamot, Cardamom and Cinnamon. A bright, warm, and gently spiced opening of immediate sophistication. Bergamot sparkling and aromatic, cardamom warm and deeply aromatic, and cinnamon warm and slightly sweet, together creating an opening of clean, spiced elegance that sets the tone for the rich, complex heart to come.
• Middle Notes: Turkish Rose, Jasmine Sambac, Arabian Jasmine and Cumin. A rich, warm, and deeply intoxicating floral-spiced heart of genuine Oriental opulence. Turkish rose — grown in the famous Rose Valley of Kazanlak, rich, velvety, and deeply honeyed — blooming at the centre with extraordinary beauty, jasmine sambac — the most intensely floral and most indolic of the jasmines, with a heady, slightly fruity, deeply intoxicating character — adding a tropical, narcotic depth, Arabian jasmine adding a softer, more delicate floral warmth, and cumin warm, slightly animalic, and deeply earthy — the most daring and most inspired note in the heart, adding a human warmth and depth that gives XII Mambo its distinctive, deeply sensual character. Together, a heart of extraordinary, unapologetic Oriental richness.
• Base Notes: Amber, Tonka Bean, Sandalwood, Cedarwood and Benzoin. A warm, resinous, and deeply lasting drydown of exceptional richness and longevity. Amber golden and resinous, tonka bean adding its warm, coumarin-sweet creaminess, sandalwood smooth and milky, cedarwood dry and structured, and benzoin sweet and balsamic, together creating a base of extraordinary warmth and depth that carries the spiced florals of the heart beautifully on the skin for hours. A base built for cold weather and long evenings.

XII Mambo is a fragrance of genuine, formal grandeur the cumin and jasmine sambac combination in the heart is the masterstroke, a pairing of warm, slightly animalic earthiness and heady, indolic white floral that gives XII Mambo its distinctive, deeply sensual Oriental character. Rich, warm, and commanding, this is a fragrance for the season’s most significant occasions.
